They were giant red blotches and I felt so hot it was like I had my face in front of a heater. I don't have it constantly, but have had it happen quite often- first noticing it about 2 years ago.
So this is an RSD problem? Can anyone explain it? |
Hi Kate,
I've always had blotchy skin too, had it my whole life not just since I was diagnosed with the RSD 7 years ago. When my doctor saw it on my stomach he thought I had a rash, perhaps a reaction to something and given my history of allergic reactions it alarmed him. Ultimately it calmed down on it's own and was nothing that could be explained.
I have a friend with RSD, she occasionally experiences a drooping of her face muscles on the her right side. When she has her lidocaine infusion her face returns to normal. All the doctors had to gather around around her to watch the remarkable recovery as the lidocaine works it's magic on her.
I wish I could explain the red blotchy rashes that come and go but I've never been given and explanation as to the cause either pre or post rsd.
Does anyone else out there have any answers?
